Chapter Seventeen: Once More

The cruise on the SS Valefor lasted about three weeks. The ship itself was three decks high, with the cabins below deck. Tidus and Yuna were happy to walk the decks of the ship together with their now three months old twins. The happy family of four was very pleased as the ship docked in Luca. Yuna wasn't feeling well as she stepped from the ship to the docks. A sudden wave of nausea ran through her body, and she dropped to one knee with Zaonus in her arms. The baby boy looked at his mother and pushed his head against her chest. Yuna kissed her son and smiled at him. His eyes were darkened to look like hers, his brown hair now covering his head. Yuna whispered to her loving husband.

"Tidus, I don't feel very well. Can we go see a doctor here? Please?"

He nodded and smiled.

"Anything to make you feel better."

He said with a smile. He took her hand in his and walked as he carried his three month old daughter in his arms. Yunalyn had her head resting on her father's shoulder, her breathing deep as she slept peacefully. The young couple walked hand in hand to the small clinic that Shelinda had established after Vegnagun had been destroyed. Yuna smiled at him as he opened the door for her. She took a seat as Tidus went to the reception and smiled.

"Could you by any chance let my wife been seen by he doctor here? She's not been feeling well since we took our cruise."

The receptionist nodded and looked over at Yuna and her eyes danced at who she saw.

"To think our first patient would be Lady Yuna." She said dreamily. "The doctor will see her soon."

Tidus nodded and sat next to Yuna again. He nuzzled her affectionately, showing his love for her. Yuna put her hand to his cheek and smiled. Yunalyn and Zaonus were both asleep in her arms, and they were the perfect picture of a happy family. The receptionist was smiling and called over the nurse to take them to the examination room. As Yuna looked at Tidus, the blonde smiled and took his children from her arms. The family of four was taken into the back of the clinic, where Tidus sat with Yuna and their children. Yuna sat on the table and took Yunalyn in her arms, her tiny blue eyes opening to stare at her mother. The three month old baby whimpered in her mother's arms and cried softly. Yuna smiled at her daughter.

"Someone's hungry."

Tidus smiled and kissed them all.

"I think so too."

Yuna gently lifted her shirt and held her daughter to her breast and fed the hungry baby. Yunalyn closed her eyes and fell asleep again as soon as she had eaten. Yuna kissed her daughter's cheek and smiled after replacing her shirt. Zaonus was asleep in Tidus's arms, happy and content to be held. Yuna smiled as she heard the door open, and the doctor came in. He was a small man with wispy brown hair and dark eyes that seemed devoid of emotion. He gave a small bow and introduced himself.

"I'm Doctor Clive. What seems to be the matter?"

He asked and Yuna handed her daughter to Tidus.

"I've been feeling nauseous and lightheaded. I get weak for no reason, and it feels as if someone o something is sapping my strength."

The doctor nodded and smiled.

"It could be any number of things, so I'd like to take a blood sample."

Yuna nodded and held out her arm as a nurse came into the small room. She showed Yuna the needle and swabbed her arm gently before piercing her skin gently with the needle. She took a single vial of blood and walked out of the room to the lab. The doctor smiled at her and spoke.

"It will take some time for the analysis to be completed. Tell me, how long ago did these symptoms start?"

Yuna thought back and smiled.

"About three days ago, I think."

The doctor nodded and smiled.

"When was the date of your last flow?"

Yuna blushed and closed her eyes.

"I think five weeks ago."

The doctor's eyes went wide and he closed his own eyes.

"I see. When was the last time you and your husband had relations?"

Tidus blushed a fiery red and cleared his throat.

"Three weeks ago." Yuna said.

The doctor nodded and smiled at them both.

"Let's wait until the analysis results come back."

They nodded and smiled at one another. Yuna lay back on the bed and closed her eyes, and thought about what the doctor had asked her. She let herself fall into a light sleep and smiled as Tidus held onto her hand. The nurse came back with the results of her blood test and handed them to the doctor, who looked at them in disbelief.

Tidus noticed the change in the man's eyes and woke Yuna from her light slumber. The doctor cleared his throat and sighed as his suspicion was confirmed. Yuna looked at him expectantly and sighed.

"Is it that bad?"

The doctor shook his head.

"Not, its not bad. You're not sick if that's what you meant."

Yuna closed her eyes and nodded before speaking.

"Then tell me doctor. Why do I feel this way?"

The doctor sighed and cleared his throat once more.

"Well… the truth is, you're pregnant."

Yuna closed her eyes as the news hit her with great intensity. She placed her hand over her stomach, where their third child rested inside her. She turned to Tidus and he hugged her, placing his hand over hers.

"I'm with you all the way."

Yuna hugged him and didn't let go.
